Spread Affliction

Required	Seed: Affliction 2
Range	10 yards x Rank / 5 yards (spread)
Area	1 Target / Rank Targets (spread)
Duration	Instant
Casting	Verbal, Somatic
Cast Action	Standard / Free (on target death)
Cost	1 Mana
Push	+1 yard to spread Distance per Push
Defense	Physical Resistance
Effect	If the target has active Afflictions on them, including Entropy, Affliction (Arcane Decay, Clinging Shadows, or Hemorrhage), Essence Drain, or Doom, they are all re-cast on Rank hostile targets within 5 yards. This requires one additional cast roll vs. the new target's resistance but does not cost additional mana. If the target fails, all of the afflictions are applied to the new targets as if they were cast directly. If a target would be affected by an affliction that is already active, the duration is extended by 1 round. You may cast this spell reactively as a Free Action when an afflicted enemy dies.
